About Avalara
Avalara provides tax compliance software that works out sales tax, VAT and other indirect taxes. Its tools are used inside accounting, billing and ERP systems, so tax is applied as transactions happen.
What it does
Avalara calculates tax on each sale or purchase using rate databases for US jurisdictions and other countries. It also covers tax returns and reporting, compliance documents and related business operations. The company has added AI agents that handle parts of the compliance work, and the site describes them as working inside existing business systems.
Key features
- Sales tax across 12,000+ US jurisdictions
- VAT rules for cross-border sales
- Consumer use tax checks on purchases
- Tax returns and compliance reports
- Partner integrations with ERP and billing systems
Who it's for
Avalara suits finance and tax teams at companies that sell across many US states or several countries. Software companies that bill customers through their own platforms may also use it. A business with one local tax area may find the scope larger than it needs.
Pricing and good to know
The site directs visitors to sales contact for pricing rather than a public price list. Setup depends on your systems and the number of tax areas you sell into. Many features are built around US sales tax rules, so check coverage for each country you operate in before you commit.
